Klaus

After daggering Elijah I need to move onto part 2 of the plan. Get a recruit inside Marcels army. The 2 I killed last night will wake up later today. Then I'll make my move.

I'm broken from my plots when I hear a knock on the door.

I don't recall anyone knowing this location. I open the door to see another ghost I knew I'd have to face again. Zach steel.

"What do you want?" I ask him.

"Hey don't be like that." He said coming past me into the house. "Pretty nice digs. Where's the drinks?"

I sigh. "Follow me." I say deciding he actually may be of some help. I remember our brief fight. He was strong. He could be a valuable ally. We go into the office and sit.

He grabs the bottle on the desk and pours himself one while I do the same. "So, To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" I ask.

"Well one of my guys just told me the originals were back in town. And I happened to know of this place. It was one my pack and I were going to move into before we decided on another one."

That caught my attention. A pack. It means he has men. An army. "And how large is this pack?" I ask.

He chuckles. "4 people including me. Not anything." He said. My hopes were dashed. 4 wolves is nothing. Especially ones I don't know. "So where's your brother? If I remember correctly where one of you goes the other follows."

I'm about to speak when I hear something not good. "Klaus! Get out here and tell me what you've done with our brother, you narcissistic, back-stabbing wanker!"

I rush out of the door, "Enough with all the shouting. Little sister. I should have known. I assume the 6 dead vampires were your doing."

"They were very rude." Rebekah said innocently. "Trying to victimize a poor, innocent girl just trying to make her way to the quarter. So sorry. We're they friends of yours?" She asks before answering herself.

"Oh that's right. You don't have any."

"I do have friends. I have Marcel. You remember him don't you?" I ask and smile.

"Of course You do." I answer my own question. "He fancies himself king of the quarter now, and he has these rules about killing vampires. It will be fun to see what sort of punishment he comes up with for you."

"I don't care about Marcel or his rules. Elijah doesn't Welsh on deals. What did you do to him?"

"Perhaps he's on holiday." I say back. "Or taking a long autumn nap upstairs. Well go on. Take a look around. You remember this place as well as I do?"

"I remember everything. How the drunken fool of a governor took gold in exchange for keeping our vampire secret. The parties the governor threw to impress you. The moments of affection I was able to steal away with his son Emil. I even remember elijah being happy."

Zach

I walk out to see Rebekah mikaelson leave and Klaus follow. I just see Hayley.

"You're the pregnant werewolf. Nice to meet you. Zach." I say with a wave.

"Hayley." She replies.

"Rebekah is right you know. Klaus did something to his brother. Just don't know what it is yet."

She sighed. "I guess you're right. Listen I'm tired. I'm gonna go upstairs okay?"

"Yea sure. See ya."

I turn around to see Klaus coming back out to the front door, "I will return." He said before leaving.

I see Rebekah come out. "Who are you?" She asks me shakily.

"Sorry blonde. You're not my type." I say trying to not think about what made her react like that.

"Hayley? A little help?" I ask the werewolf who's made her way upstairs now.

I turn back to see Rebekah come out of her trance and rush towards me. She pinned me to the wall and spoke. "Who the hell are you?"

I reverse our situation with me now pinning her to the wall and my red eyes burning. "A friend of your brothers. Now, if I let you go will you try to attack me again?" I say with a yawn over exaggerating my now sharp maw of teeth.

I get no answer. So I decide that's good enough. I let her go and look back at Hayley with my eyes still glowing. "You're a werewolf," the pregnant woman said.

"Indeed." I said. Not planning on saying anything else.

"But how can you control your transformation? Are you a hybrid?"

I shake my head. "God no. I'm a pure werewolf. Think of me as an original version of a werewolf."

I see her confusion. "Try not to think about it too much. I don't." I say then turn back to the blonde vampire. "Care to share why both you and Niklaus have looked at me like I'm some sort of ghost when we met?"

She gains a faraway look in her eyes. "You just look like someone we all lost a long time ago." She said before turning back on her usual bratty persona.

"Listen, I'm going to find out what my evil brother did to my good one. The two of you are going to help."

The cemetery

Rebekah

After not finding Elijah's casket in the house Ieft Hayley and the guy who looks too much like Henrik to go find the witch. Sophie.

"I'll tell you what's bloody irrelevant, a coven of witches who can't do magic. Here's an idea just move away."

"We can't." Sophie replied. "We practice ancestral magic. If we run, we're leaving our legacy behind. That's why we need klaus to take care of Marcel."

"You don't understand. Marcel isn't just some guy that klaus turned into a vampire. He loved him like a son.

I was there the day they met." I said remembering the scene of Young Marcel being whipped while people walked by as if nothing was wrong. Then marcel fought back against his oppressor. Said man didn't like that and was prepared to teach the boy a lesson. But Klaus got there first.

"Don't you see? All you've done is brought back two long lost souls. Without elijah between them…. Who knows what they'll do." I finish and leave the cemetery.

Klaus

I'm sitting, having a drink when Marcel approached. "Ah. I know that look. Woman trouble." I say to him.

"You're a dick you know that? Why didn't you tell me you sister was back in town?"

"I thought it'd be more entertaining not to."

"Is there anything else I should know?" He asked.

I pour another glass while answering him, "only that she's grown considerably more insane in the past century."

"Or, maybe it was her who killed my guys," Marcel said as his phone starts ringing.

"Unless that bar is frequented by small town highschool quarterbacks I don't think she'd be interested."

I hear him answe his phone. "Just heard about a werewolf sighting in the quarter." Came the voice of his right hand man thiery.

"Send some night walkers to check it out. Bring me back it's head." Marcel days back before hanging up.

"Listen, your my guest. I don't have time for mikaelson family drama. Keep your sister in line." Marcel says before leaving.

"I'd have greater chance to drain the Mississippi with a straw!" I call out in answer.

I come back dragging the man inside with Me from the pile of bodies Rebekah decided to stack. "I'm going to convince this one to tell marcel his mates found religion so he can explain why he lost 3 more vampires tonight.

Any more questions?" I ask. I don't see either Hayley or Rebekah answer. "Good. Because I have one. Hayley. What were you doing in the bloody French quarter?" She stayed silent. "Answer me!" I loose my control.

"I was trying to put your baby out of its misery." That snapped something in me. In an instant I had her pinned to the wall until Rebekah threw me way.

"Keep your hands off her she's pregnant for gods sake!" She said then gained a softer look. "It's okay to care Nik. That's all Elijah wanted to for you."

I sit down. "I have Elijah to Marcel."

"You what?!" She asked.

"Marcel was getting nervous. Bad enough one original come to town but 2? His crew was ansy so I made a peace offering. I'm doing this the only way I know how. If you don't like it…. There's the door." I say and leave. I need a drink.

Authors Note:

Hey guys. Another one up. I've honestly had to slow myself down. I'm already almost the entirety of the way through season 1. Got caught up in the story and forgot to write.

Please enjoy the chapyer and have a good day. May upload tomorrow, may not. I truly don't know. I guess we'll play it by ear.
